You need to read the replies carefully. This issue has nothing to do with the quality of the browsers or the timeliness of the browser updates. It only has to do with Adobe. Chrome is not better than IE; just different, with different pluses and minuses. Windows explorer is not even at issue here. Internet Explorer is. You are expecting Microsoft to solve Adobe's problem. I don't think that will happen.

No actually the 32 bit version was already installed and working before the update. I had to manually tell the computer to use that one, instead of the 64 bit which is also installed. Microsoft had not updated their windows explorer to do this automatically like google had. So google was doing the work for the consumer, and microsoft was not.

I understand what you are saying. I have 4 computers in the house. Windows 7 is the only one that has the issue. I have a 64 bit system with vista on it, and it had no issues with the abode download. It works great with fancast, hulu, etc. To resolve the issue to get the download with 64 bit window 7 system I had to install google to get it to download. I just went into program files, and clicked on 32 bit windows explorer and made a short cut with it so if I need to use those programs I just use 32 bit windows, instead of 64bit window explorer. Have not tried uninstalling abode first then reloading with 64 bit explorer up to see if that works. I read in microsoft formum that is what needs to be done to make it work properly. Just seems to me tons of hassle to get abode to work on windows 7 which is supposed to be the new fix to vista. Seems like to me vista handled this with no issues. So it is a microsoft issue, and not a abode issue in my opion. Microsoft has not updated the interet explorer on window 7 64 bit yet to run properly with the download abode has come out with.

It is NOT Microsoft's problem that the Adobe Flash Player does not work on the 64-bit "Internet Explorer", it is Adobe's problem and they acknowledge it:

Flash Player support on 64-bit operating systems

Adobe is concentrating on version 10.1 to be released in first half of 2010; however, this is also a 32-bit version. They will work on a 64-bit version after they finish 10.1. Currently, there is NO 64-bit Adobe Flash Player for PC systems except for Linux.
